]]> Using the standard upgrade proceedures, Debian Etch + LVM will fail to upgrade to Debian Lenny gracefully.  This is due to the kernel modules and is simple to avoid.

  1. Before changing apt sources (They should be etch)
  2. apt-get update
  3. apt-get upgrade
  4. reboot if kernel upgrades
  5. Now change your apt sources  (Lenny or Stable)
  6. apt-get update
  7. apt-get upgrade
  8. NOTE: At this point lvm2 is probably held back.
  9. Reboot if the kernel upgrades
  10. NOW do your dist upgrade
  11. apt-get update
  12. apt-get dist-upgrade
  13. NOTE: At this point lvm2 is probably still held back.
  14. Reboot
  15. apt-get update
  16. apt-get install lvm2
  17. Reboot

TADA!  You have to reboot a couple times, but you never have to touch the configs or the mapper.
